I am so excited! The middle school trip is right around the corner! On the trip we will be doing all kinds of fun things like white water river rafting, zip lining, kayaking, and tree canopy climbing. The activity I am most excited for is white water river rafting. Today I would like to share with you my experience white water river rafting last summer in Maine.
So, last summer my family and I were in Maine at a place called Moosehead Lake. We woke up first thing in the morning, got in our car and drove to the white water rafting site, where we hopped on a bus and drove out to the river. First, we brought our raft down to the water (which wasn’t close by the way) where the instructors taught us how to steer the boat. Then we pushed our raft into the river and hopped in.
It was so much fun! While rafting, we were able to jump off the raft and swim in small rapids. That was my favorite part. Then we stopped off at a lunch spot and had the best lunch in my life which included all carbs, yum! It was perfect and filling after a long morning on the water. After lunch, we hopped back in our raft and floated all the way back to the campground, where we pulled our boat out of the water and drove back home.
That trip was one of my favorite trips ever all because of the white water river rafting. It was surprisingly not scary and just exciting. It was such a good experience and I can’t wait to experience it again, this time with my classmates on the middle school trip this month.
